I am not a fan of somple green. If you have access to a steamer use that.@dak0ta – I used SimpleGreen as per Iraqveteran8888 on Youtube
I posted that suggestion back in July when sticky bolt issues were being mentioned but it wasn’t too well received. I was going try steam but all my Mosin needed was another good cleaning with the shotgun brush and patches. Anyway the point is Iraqveteran8888 feels that gasoline and brake fluid is too harsh and I agree. In the end people are going to do what they want, it was only a suggestionI am not a fan of somple green. If you have access to a steamer use that.
No worries....there is so many "youtube" experts floating around and so much mis-information out there it is not even funny.I posted that suggestion back in July when sticky bolt issues were being mentioned but it wasn’t too well received.

True, anyone with a cam and throw one up. The difference is Iraqveteran8888 and Hickok45 know their stuff. They aren’t a couple of kids in Mom’s basement uploading vids. BTW both do nice reviews on the Mosin. They do it in a way where you draw your own conclusions, that's what it is all about.

One I will agree with....the other not so much.True, anyone with a cam and throw one up. The difference is Iraqveteran8888 and Hickok45 know their stuff.

Yes...I am one of those "leave history alone" type guys but strang enough have no problem with his take on things....basically it is, hay there are a billion of these things, as long as you don't cut up one of value have at it. His attitude is not a know-it-all like some of the others, and not a total clown like others still...but there are some good stuff in the few videos I have seen. There are a few others out there that have some pretty good com-bloc weapon videos....and firearm videos in general....most are just trying to sound like they are trying out for a new Discovery TV show....and have the facts on par for most of their shows.Any of you guys seen the NutNFancy Mosin reviews?
Sergei Mosin said:D94R, the Soviets frequently reused older receivers, typically during times of disruption to one or another plant. I have examples from World War I, the Russian Civil War, and World War II which were all built on older receivers. (Finland, of course, did this will all of their Mosins.) Tula had to be evacuated in 1941 and when production restarted there in 1943, they used many older receivers with new barrels.
ill have to check it out. My friend found one at some shop and got to inspect it before buying which is what i want to do so i don't get boned. tho they are cheap enough. I may go with Wideners reloading and shooting supply inc. Its where i got my cz.I bought two from keepshooting.com and The M39 from [email protected].
The two I bought from keepshooting were arsenal refinished and except for the crappy shellac were very nice. The Finn looked nice until you removed the wood and there I found some minor rust and significant but still relatively minor pitting.
Pat Burns is not very pleasant to do business with if you have a complaint. If you order a Finn from them inspect it as best you can, but don't even attempt to clean it or they won't take it back. I know that it is impossible to do much of an inspecting job without cleaning the bore, but they started telling me I couldn't return it because I had cleaned it, when all I wanted to do was give them a piece of my mind. They give a very fine description without having thoroughly inspected the piece themselves. So, If you buy from them it is a crapshoot. They are giving optimistic guesses with their descriptions.
I got two words for yaWhere did you get your mosins?! im in Orlando and ive looked on dicks and gander mountains websites and they dont have them or they have them for 170 something
